The System Arrives

In a suburb of HN City, ZJ Province, China, it was already 2 AM, but for Yang Xuan, there was no difference from daytime. He was still playing games and watching TV shows, just like any ordinary shut-in. His once-defined abs had completely turned into extra-large pork belly.

Completely engrossed in the TV drama, Yang Xuan didn't notice a meteor about to fall from the distant starry sky. The impact site was the dormitory of the company where Yang Xuan worked.

Stretching, Yang Xuan paused the TV show. It was too exciting, but he had been holding his bladder for hours. If he didn't go soon, it felt like a certain organ was going to explode. Time to go to the bathroom. Lighting a cigarette, he stumbled out of the dorm. He had to admit, the employee dormitories at Yang Xuan's company were quite good. They were 50 meters from the office, with the restroom directly opposite, and the kitchen next to the restroom. Even if he woke up late sometimes, he could open his computer and work from the dorm.

Just as he entered the restroom, the meteor rapidly descended, hitting Yang Xuan directly on the head. Strangely, nothing on the roof was broken. Yang Xuan only managed to let out a muffled groan before collapsing unconscious. In a daze, he vaguely heard something about installation and then knew nothing more.

System defaulting host—

Establishing parasitic connection—

10% 30% 99%

System installation complete.

"Ugh, my head feels so swollen, what's going on?" Yang Xuan felt very strange. His body had always been very good, rarely getting sick. Although he didn't exercise much, he used to practice fitness and taekwondo often.

Yang Xuan abruptly got up and picked up the phone he had dropped when he fainted. "Holy crap, it's already 7 AM. I need to get back to the dorm quickly, or it'll be embarrassing if everyone sees me when they start work." Just as he was about to return to the dorm, Yang Xuan's face turned green. "Okay, I need to go back to the dorm and change my underwear."

Yang Xuan, male, 24 years old, employed at a Taobao company in HN City. The company's main business was selling fur products on online platforms, such as affordable sheepskin leather jackets, rabbit fur jackets, and more expensive sable fur clothing, as well as full sable fur coats.

Yang Xuan was the top customer service representative at this company. Perhaps because he often stayed up all night, he never closed the platform's chat window even when watching TV shows or playing games, so his performance was much better than his colleagues.

Yang Xuan tidied himself up and then planned to finish the unfinished episode of the TV show before sleeping. Anyway, Yang Xuan's working hours were from 5 PM to 12 AM, and no one cared if he slept all day. As Yang Xuan pressed the play button, a voice popped up in his mind.

Ding—System detected [Conditions of a Witch]. Enter?

Yang Xuan was completely bewildered. What was going on? Had he hallucinated from staying up too many nights? To test if it was a hallucination, Yang Xuan closed the TV show and opened it again.

Ding—System detected [Conditions of a Witch]. Enter?

"I got a system?" Yang Xuan was an avid reader and understood immediately. He had obtained a cheat! From initial panic to wild joy, then gradually to calmness.

Yang Xuan curiously asked, "What are you, and why are you in my head?"

The system indeed replied, "Host, this system is parasitically integrated within your body and can traverse various parallel dimensions." Yang Xuan pressed further, "Then where did you come from? Who created you?"

"I don't know. I've wandered in the interstice of space and time for too long, and my initial memories are gone. Host, you don't need to speak; you can just think your thoughts." The system's voice echoed in Yang Xuan's mind.

"Hmm, so besides entering movie and TV dimensions, what other functions do you have?" Yang Xuan thought.

Yang Xuan blinked, and a virtual screen appeared before his eyes.

System Functions: 1: Traverse to various affiliated dimensions, which can include novels, movies, TV shows, anime, and legends. 2: Spend a certain price to strengthen attributes, skills, and items. 3: Traverse to any unfamiliar place and automatically gain the language of that dimension, mastering it permanently, and learning skills becomes natural. 4: Temporal control of dimensions. Once entered, you can move forward in time within the dimension, but you cannot travel back to the past. 5: The system comes with a storage space, with an initial space of 10 square meters. It can be continuously expanded with the host's energy strength, even evolving into worlds. 6: Remaining additional functions, please explore them yourself, Commander.

Yang Xuan was truly overjoyed. He was rich! He could get rich by just finding any dimension, and there were powers from various worlds. Naruto, Dragon Ball, Marvel. He was invincible now.

The most important thing now was to choose which dimension to go to. After all, society was very harmonious now, and who knew what would happen in other worlds? It was better to be prepared.

Yang Xuan not only liked watching TV shows but also loved watching movies. He had seen most popular movies and had lamented the regrets in some of the plots.

After much deliberation, one movie caught Yang Xuan's eye: [Chronicle]. This movie was filmed in 2012, a small-budget production, about three losers who entered a cave and gained superpowers.

When Yang Xuan watched it, he had complained a lot. After gaining telekinesis, they actually went to rob a gas station convenience store, which was hilarious. Mainly, the protagonist's personality had flaws, and his temper became increasingly violent after gaining superpowers.

It was also related to his family. His father had always abused him, and his mother died because they didn't have money. Sometimes Yang Xuan felt the protagonist was quite pitiful.

Based on Yang Xuan's current analysis, the gem that granted telekinesis had very strong abilities. Even by the end of the movie, it wasn't the full extent of telekinesis's power.

There was still great potential to be developed, and this ability was very easy to obtain. Yang Xuan's only concern now was that the gem granted superpowers, and it was shared among three people. Even so, they all had nosebleeds. Would one person die from exhaustion? This was something that needed careful consideration.

After much thought, he decided to get a good night's sleep to recharge his energy. He planned to enter at 12 AM and take a leave of absence.

Time flew by.

Jingle bell—Jingle bell— The alarm clock rang punctually. Yang Xuan groggily got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and ate something. After a bit of fuss, everything was ready.

The system prompted to travel to [Chronicle], at the beginning of the plot. The location was near the telekinesis gem cave. The current time control limit was 1:100, meaning 1 hour in reality was 100 hours in the movie world.

Yang Xuan felt his vision darken and then found himself on a grassy lawn. About 4-5 meters ahead was a dark cave. The system was quite efficient. Yang Xuan quickly walked forward. The cave didn't look scary in the movie, but seeing it in person, he suddenly found it a little terrifying.

He turned on his phone's flashlight and slowly entered the cave. Actually, the inside of the cave was quite spacious. There was only one path, so it was easy to navigate. After turning a corner, his vision suddenly turned blue. It was so beautiful! He finally saw the telekinesis gem.

The telekinesis gem was entirely deep blue, emitting a faint, brilliant light that shone into Yang Xuan's eyes.

Yang Xuan knew this was a make-or-break moment. Without hesitation, he took a deep breath and steadily touched the telekinesis gem.

With a "clang," Yang Xuan's head felt like it was hit by a construction vehicle. It was very painful, but after the pain came a swelling, a great swelling, as if his entire brain was about to explode. Gradually, the gem turned red, shrank, and then disappeared.

Yang Xuan closed his eyes, his nose bleeding profusely, his eyes tightly shut. He instantly collapsed, unconscious.
